Weird 7.4 issue: unable to save new filesbrowsing

I updated to 7.4 this morning and found that I could not save any newly created file. Note: I’m working in folders I’ve been working in for more than a year, and nothing in the configurations have changed; this issue happens both on the server (Windows Server 2012 R2, through FTP and VPN/mapped network drive) and on my local machine. (Windows 10).

Open a file from yesterday, save: saves fine.
Copy a file from yesterday, rename it. Open, edit, saves fine.
Create a new text file in Windows explorer on local machine. Open, edit, save: “file may be protected, open in administrator mode?”
Create a new text file in Windows explorer on mapped drive. Open, edit, save: “file may be protected, open in administrator mode?”
Create a new text file using WinSCP. Download, edit, save: “file may be protected, open in administrator mode?”

When I do reopen in admin mode, I still can’t save the file.

When I downgraded to 7.3, the issue went away and I’m back to work as usual.

It is unlikely this is a Windows permissions issue: I’m able to work in the folders using Windows Notepad, Libreoffice, Gimp, Inkscape, and of course Notepad++ 7.3.

@donho I installed notepad++ 7.4 64-bit on a new work laptop today, and was encountering same behavior as @William-Morris with a newly-created .txt file on my Windows 10 desktop: “file may be protected, open in administrator mode?”.

I tried your binary file above, and the problem is resolved: the .txt file saves successfully.
